"In an astounding display of obsession this afternoon, gamers from all over the world journeyed a collective total of two hundred thousand miles to Australia. Australia is rumored to be home to many well-known gamers, one of which goes by the name of "Setekh". Apparently, this "Setekh" failed to updated his site, called the Array, for more than a week. Fans had little choice but to catch the nearest ride to this member's house. The gamers blockaded Setekh's house for several days. One of our news reporters managed to travel through the unruly mob and interview the unfortunate artist.
"Mr.Setekh, would you mind explaining this...herd of fans gathered out side of your house?"
"My name isn't Setekh! But I do run the array, the first internet site ever created, and the basis for over ten million pages on the internet, including Microsoft's. Once this whole thing is over, I plan on sueing."
"Mr., ah, Eddie, what about Thunder's webpage, Ross128, which existed months before the Array came online?"
"No comment."
Mr.Woo also attempted to calm the mob, using code phrases from the game 'Free Space.'
"I demand access to my car! And the grocery store!"
Unfortunately, these efforts were met with little success, and finally the artist was forced to give in to the crowd's demands and updated his site.
However, in the chaos of the mob's dissiapation, some of the rioters apparently stepped in some local Australian flowers. Despite medical personnel's immediate assistance, the flowers did not survive and passed away in the Hippy Hospital. Environmentalists immediately went to work on the former flower's home. They quickly buried Setekh's car, cut his power lines, created a garden, taught him how to farm, and forwarded all of Mr.Eddie's money to a fellow Freespace fan in Brazil. No word has reached this studo how the Array will be updated in the future."
